Capri-Sun (Capri Sun in the United States; UK: /ˈkæpri/, US: /kəˈpr/) is a German brand of juice concentrate drinks. Invented by Rudolf Wild, it was introduced in West Germany in 1969 by his company as Capri-Sonne (a name retired in favor of the English name in 2017). It is now sold in over 100 countries, including the United States, where it is licensed by Kraft Foods. In parts of Europe it is marketed by Coca-Cola Europacific Partners. As of 2016, roughly 7 billion pouches are sold per year.[1]

German restrictions on food coloring led Wild to favor an opaque container. As a result, the company chose laminated foil vacuum Doy-N-Pack pouches, with which the brand has become strongly associated. In the United States, these pouches were innovative as the first single-serving fruit juice containers. The pouch design has stayed largely the same, but changes in some markets have included transparent bottoms and paper straws.

From early on in Shasta's licensing of Capri Sun in the United States, the company marketed the drinks primarily to young children, who it said were more adept at piercing the pouch with the included straw.[2] In 1991, Shasta sold Capri Sun Inc. to Kraft Foods, then part of Philip Morris Cos. (now Altria), a tobacco conglomerate. Prohibited from selling tobacco to children, Philip Morris executives applied their experience to sugary drinks including Capri Sun,[3] adding the pouches to Lunchables and advertising them through a "California cool" aesthetic. Kraft continued to use Philip Morris's techniques after it became an independent company in 2007.[4]

Capri-Sun's main products are high in sugar content, although lower than many competitors. Shasta and later Kraft's designation of the product as "all-natural" long faced criticism in the United States by those who saw it as misleading, if technically true. Amidst a lawsuit in 2007 over its use of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), Kraft changed the label to "no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives".[5] Kraft later removed HFCS from Capri Sun products.

History

Rudolf Wild
File:Dr.HPW.jpg
Hans-Peter Wild

Rudolf Wild of Heidelberg founded Rudolf Wild & Co. (better known as Wild) in the German Reich in 1931. After World War II, Rudolf Wild created Libella, which the Lexington Herald-Leader in 1998 described as "the first all-natural soda made with real fruit juice". This led him to several new products, including Capri-Sonne,[6] which was developed in the 1960s[7] and debuted in West Germany in 1969.[8] Restrictions on color additives at the time in West Germany led to less visually appealing soft drinks, incentivizing opaque packaging.[9] According to Capri-Sonne's website as of 2015, the drink was named after the Italian island of Capri due to its status as a vacation destination.[10]

At the initiative of Rudolf's son Hans-Peter Wild, champion boxer Muhammad Ali began promoting the brand in 1978; it was his first endorsement deal. Wild subsidiary SiSi-Werke said that the deal included one crate of Capri-Sonne a week for four years. The endorsement—in which Ali said Capri-Sonne was, like him, "the greatest of all time"—led to a significant increase in sales.[11] By 1982, Capri-Sun was sold in 23 countries and the most popular fruit juice in 19 of 23.[12] Availability rose to 52 countries by 1991.[13]

SiSi-Werke attempted to secure trademarks for eight of its pouch designs in the European Union; the European Court of Justice, which has consistently rejected trademarks based on product shape, turned the request down in 2006.[14] On 21 February 2017, SiSi-Werke announced that it would be renaming Capri-Sonne to Capri-Sun in Germany, the last country to retain the original name. The brand faced some criticism for the change, some of it lighthearted in tone; it did not rule out reintroducing the name at a later date.[7]

Capri-Sun is marketed in France, Ireland, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom by Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP—previously Coca-Cola Enterprises, CCE).[15] In France, where CCE and CCEP have marked Capri-Sun since 2007, 213 million pouches were sold in 2016, a 24% increase from the previous year.[16] Sales increased another 20% the next year, to 250 million.[17]

As of 2016, Capri-Sun sells an estimated 7 billion pouches per year globally.[1] As of 2023, Forbes reports sales in more than 100 countries, netting roughly $500 million per year.[18]

North America

1979–1991: Shasta Beverages

In 1979, Shasta Beverages (then a part of Consolidated Foods) began to license the drink from Wild under the name Capri Sun.[19] After promising test runs in Buffalo, New York, and Atlanta, Georgia,[20] Shasta began a rolling expansion, starting with the Midwestern and Southeastern United States in 1980 and 1981.[21]

When Shasta introduced the product in the United States, its single-serving packaging was unusual in contrast with the 46-fluid-ounce (1.4L) aluminum cans that dominated the fruit juice market. Despite initial issues on rollout, the packaging carried the advantage of being light, durable, blunt, long-lasting, freezable, and insular. The patented design, trademarked under the name Doy-N-Pack and exclusively licensed by Shasta from Wild, soon faced a competitor in aseptic "brick packaging" like Tetra Pak, which also proved popular in stores.[22]

Shasta intended the product for children around ages 7 to 12, with its marketing director for new products telling a journalist, "Adults have a mental block about putting the straw in—they try to be careful and it just doesn't work."[23] Instead of general advertising, Shasta's marketing placed image spots in kids' zines such as Duck Tales and Sports Illustrated for Kids, building brand loyalty based on promotional offers, word of mouth, and child-oriented package design.[24] Early marketing emphasized the product as all-natural, a designation that was met with some criticism.[25] By 1982, it had a 10% market share in the markets where it was available, with aims of a 15–20% share against competitors Hi-C and Hawaiian Punch,[12] which were about half its price. Most of Capri Sun's early market share gains came at the expense of small brands.[22]

In 1983, the Capri Sun brand brought Shasta $28 million in sales.[26] In 1985, Sara Lee (the former Consolidated Foods) sold Shasta to National Beverage.[27] A dedicated company was established to market Capri Sun in the 1980s, headquartered in San Mateo, California, with factories in nearby Fresno and in Granite City, Illinois.[28] In 1990, Capri Sun sold 450 million pouches.[13]

1991–present: Kraft Foods

On 19 December 1991, Kraft Foods announced a buyout of Capri Sun's U.S. operations, making it part of General Foods USA. The decision was expected to strengthen Kraft's share in the juices and drinks market, and to provide increased marketing power for Capri Sun.[29] Kraft's parent company, Philip Morris Cos. (now Altria),[30] had experience selling cigarettes to young people but was barred from marketing to children, and so adapted those strategies to sugary drinks including Capri Sun, Kool-Aid, and Tang.[3] Philip Morris targeted Capri Sun to children between the ages of 6 and 14, in ways that represented a significant shift in the product's marketing strategy.[31] Philip Morris's campaign for Capri Sun emphasized flashy colors and beach scenes, evoking a bright and fun "California cool"; later, they would switch to a sporty theme. In 1994, Philip Morris added Capri Sun to Lunchables, prepackaged lunch sets for schoolchildren. Lunchables sales increased by over a third in 1994; by 1998, sales exceeded over half a billion dollars (equivalent to $935,000,000 in 2023).[4] By 2006, marketing techniques had gone online as well, including a website where children under the age of 13 could submit photos for a chance to win a vacation for their families[32] or send Capri Sun-themed greeting cards.[33]

At the same time these marketing changes were occurring, obesity rates among children in the United States began rising, a phenomenon attributed in part to the rise in sugary drinks consumption across the board[34]–including food industry advertising, which has been linked to a rise in obesity in both children and adults.[35] A 2019 review in The BMJ found that the marketing techniques introduced by Philip Morris were still in use, even after Kraft became independent of the company in 2007.[4]

In January 2007, a Florida woman, backed by the Center for Science in the Public Interest, sued Kraft for deceptive packaging, alleging that its usage of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) made its claimed "all-natural" status inaccurate. Kraft announced a day later that they would cease labeling Capri Sun that way as part of a planned reformulation and repackaging, replacing the words with "no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives".[36] In 2015, facing declining sales, Kraft switched the main Capri Sun line from HFCS to sugar and switched the Roarin' Waters flavored water brand from HFCS and sucralose to sugar and Stevia.[37] In 2017, Capri Sun sued American Beverage, claiming that the company's use of pouches to market SunnyD constituted trademark infringement. The U.S. District Judge, Paul A. Engelmayer, found conflicting evidence as to whether the pouch design was regularly associated with Capri Sun by consumers, with Capri Sun asserting the notion and American Beverage disputing it. Capri Sun has sued other companies for infringement on the design in the past, securing a $650,000 licensing fee from Faribault Foods in one such lawsuit. As of 2022, the case was scheduled for a jury trial.[38]

In the 2020s, Capri Sun has been noted for its marketing to parents, still in the hope that they would give the drink to their children. In 2020, Capri Sun donated 5 million pouches of water labelled "we're sorry it's not juice" to schools in Granite City, Illinois and the Chicago metropolitan area.[39] The accompanying ad campaign, according to Ad Age, was targeted towards parents in the area who were concerned about COVID-19 pandemic safety restrictions shutting down water fountains.[40] In 2022, the company released an advertisement more directly targeted at parents, starring a character modeled after the male leads of romance novels designed to disinterest children, before changing tack to pitch Capri Sun.[41]

In January 2023, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Capri Sun in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York over its branded apple juice; Eboni Forbes, the class representative, claimed that its use of citric acid as an ingredient contravened its claim of having "artificial colors, flavors or preservatives".[42]

A 2009 comparison published by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health of various flavored drinks classified Capri Sun Juice Drink Strawberry Kiwi, along with all of the other surveyed fruit punch and fruit juice drinks, in the red (least healthy) tier. Drinks in the red tier, which had a classification requirement of more than 12 grams (2.9 teaspoons) of sugar per 12 ounces (.35L), were advised to be consumed only "sparingly and infrequently". At 34 grams (8.1 tsp) of sugar, the drink's sugar content was the lowest in the category. Capri Sun Sport Sports Drink Lemon Lime, an energy drink with 20 grams (4.8 tsp) of sugar per 12 ounces, was also placed in the red tier.[43] In 2022, Capri Sun lowered its sugar content from 14 grams to 8 by adding monk fruit concentrate to the ingredient list.[44]

The first four flavors of Capri Sun sold in the United States were Orange, Apple, Lemonade, and Fruit Punch.[45] Other flavors have included Mountain Cooler (apple and raspberry), Strawberry Kiwi, Wild Cherry, Pacific Cooler, (apple, cherry pineapple, and raspberry), Tropical Punch (strawberry, orange, pineapple, lemon and lime),[46] and Grape Geyser.[47] In addition to the main line of fruit-juice-based beverages, American Capri Sun products have included a 100% juice variant[48] and Roarin' Waters, a line of flavored waters.[49] Not all markets have as many flavors: In France, for instance, only Classic (orange), Crush, and Bio flavors are sold,[50] while the United Kingdom has Orange, Tropical, Blackcurrant, and Cherry.[51] Other products sold in the United Kingdom include Fruity Water—a different flavored water line[52]—and squash (concentrated syrup).[53]

Capri-Sun drinks are canned in laminate vacuum pouches.[54] In 2021, a TikTok video went viral after a father discovered mold in her daughter's Capri Sun through the package's clear bottom; Capri Sun stated that finding contaminants are the purpose of the clear bottom,[55] that the mold is naturally occuring, and that testing of the packaging showed that it was not sealed properly. A year later, a recall was announced on over 5,000 Capri Sun Wild Cherry pouches after it was discovered that some were contaminated with cleaning supplies.[56][57] Capri Sun also faced criticism in the United Kingdom for introducing paper straws to its pouches, a move it said was environmentally friendly; consumers complained about the straw's inability to pierce the pouch in opening the drink, as well as the still-existing plastic wrapping on the straw, which Capri-Sun said was required under British law.[58]

In addition to the well-known Doy-N-Pak pouch, Capri-Sun comes in other packaging in various markets, including a resealable pouch with safety cap used on some products in Europe.[59] The squash lines are sold in one-liter plastic bottles.[53]

Reception and impact

A 2022 review of fruit punch drinks in the Marin Independent Journal gave Capri Sun All Natural Fruit Punch two stars, noting its lower sugar content compared to other listed sugary drinks but criticizing its taste as "watery" and non-evocative of the fruits depicted on the label.[60] A 2017 review of "your kids' lunch box favorites" by Brooke Jackson-Glidden in the Statesman Journal noted the Capri Sun Strawberry Kiwi's 13 grams of sugar, praising its moderately sweet taste and small size. The paper's "resident intern", Young Cooper, commented that it was "definitely not the best flavor of Capri Sun."[61] Marnie Shure of The Takeout, reviewing Capri Sun fruit punch after the switch to monk fruit, wrote that the sweetness had now become the primary flavor, rather than notes of actual fruit as before, and assessed a perhaps 5% increase in tartness, but complimented the lack of aftertaste she associated with most sweeteners.[44] Chad Eschman of Vinepair reviewed Capri Sun flavors as they relate to creating mixers; reviews included positively rating the combination of gin and Pacific Cooler as tasting like a large white gummy bear and negatively rating the combination of tequila and Tropical Cooler as "we've made a huge mistake".[46]

Roarin' Waters faced early criticism for its sugariness and lack of juice.[49] Gannett News Service's Kim Painter characterized it as "a reduced-calorie fruit drink, apparently made for children who expect all drinks, even water, to be sweet",[62] while James Lileks of the Minneapolist Star Tribune wrote that his daughter thought it tasted like Easy Mac.[63]

In media

"Go ahead, stick the straw, stick the straw in the Capri-Sun."

[Vas-y plante la paille, plante la paille dans l'Capri-Sun.]

BoyBandit, "CAPRI-SUN"[64]

A number of French rap artists, including Jul and Timal, have referenced Capri Sun in their songs. Rappers BoyBandit and Edinho have both written songs called "CAPRI-SUN".[17] Nicolas Santolaria of Le Monde in November 2020 described Capri-Sun as "the new ostentatious elixir of French rappers and gangsters".[65] Humorist Alexandre Majirus connected the trend to a broader phenomenon of 1990s nostalgia in rap.[16] A Coca-Cola France representative told Slate.fr that they were not working with the rappers and neither supported nor opposed the trend.[66] Capri-Sun had a line associating the brand with drug use removed from Naps's "À part ça".[16]

Public perception

A 2015 study in Public Health Nutrition on American parents' attitudes towards sugary drinks found that 36% of surveyed parents with children between the ages of 2 and 17 rated Capri Sun as "somewhat" or "very healthy", with 48% saying that they gave the drink to their children in that age. Black and Hispanic parents were significantly more likely to rate Capri Sun as healthy than white parents, and the rating was higher than sugary fruit drinks as a category, which only 30% of parents gave the same rating. Regarding Roarin' Waters, 39% rated the same, but only 16% said that they give their children the drink. Hispanic parents were significantly more likely than white parents to rate the product as healthy, although black parents were not. Roarin' Waters was one of a few products to be rated as less healthy than its category overall; 48% rated flavored water drinks as healthy. The study concluded that those parents may have selected Capri Sun Roarin' Waters because they consider it a healthier option.[67]

A 2013 online poll from Foodwatch, a European consumer protection group, resulted in Capri-Sun receiving a "Golden Windbag" award for perceived deceptive advertising to children. Capri-Sun denied that its advertising was targeted towards children.[68]

In 2015, author Josephine Lébard noted Capri-Sun's popularity, along with that of SunnyD, in Clichy-sous-Bois, a low-income area near Paris.[69] A representative of Coca-Cola France told Slate.fr in 2018 that 87% of families with children under 15 recognized the Capri-Sun brand.[16]

A 2022 Morning Consult survey of American Generation Z adults ranked Capri Sun in 17th place out of over 4,000 on a list of their most favored brands, with 77% rating the brand favorably.[70] Capri Sun was also one of the brands with the largest differential between Gen Z and older peers; the brand's favorability rating with Gen Z was 16 percentage points higher than the U.S. adult population at large, 19th highest in the brands surveyed, and 7 percentage points higher than the Millennial respondents, for 16th place.[71]
